Time

...are masterful.  Keep creating, my friend.

-JEO-

David and John, I used texture from other make! This texture and hundreds more may be found here!

I only put on the texture my PSD file (only the watch and the chain selected from the original photo) of the watch and blended a little on hard light option, that was all!

Nothing much to say regarding the image but the position of the clock perhaps wants to tell something,may be reversal of time(just a thought appeared in my mind as the position of those blades are  not seen in a clock positioned like this).May be I am wrong.

My best regards.

A very good positioning of the watch and the chain. very good work.

cheers, hans

Kallol, when I took the pictures of the watch I didn't even notice what was the time shown, it doesn't mean anything!

Hans, thank you for your visit!

Thank you both for your visit and comments! Much appreciated!

I  see, I am late and can add nothing to what is already said! I agree with Mike, it could be easily put in a museum as a very fine piece of art. Congratulations! But it warms my heart because the watch is from my previous life, from the country that doesn't exist any more, brings memories of people, that had the same one or very close to it... Again, the picture reminds, that time just tiks-taks away.... thank you.

My best regards, Tamara 

Bom trabalho! Gosto das texturas!

Hello Pierre,

It works! Having it upside down was a good idea.

Ben

an antique watch which makes you think of the "door to enter the rediscovered space" (work of mine)

Excellent capture and you kept the time for us!...Very well expression wth fine details and nice colours!...Best regards(Bobby).

It exactly how men take those kind watch from the packet... Now we need twist it around... :-)

Perfect work with details and composition. Also, well embedded and post processed. 

 

These hours have been made at a factory in our city, in city which I live.How they to you have got? My sister there worked.

Anatoly, I bought it for my father many, many years ago in a tobacco shop in former Yugoslavia! It was very cheap, but after 30 years it is still working!

Love the old watch, rustic looking, blending of background, theme and  great technique.

Indeed time is something we do not have enough, and it never stops for no one.

Cool and creative as always, the watch feels almost 3 D an still it fits well in the background too. lovely work.

Best regards Tore

Does anyone know what time it is .. does anyone really care about time, if so I do imagine why we all have time enough to die... Or so the song went... But here time stands still in the photograph and in our minds when left to dream. I have always found your control of your photography and the patience to manage your protfolio to be beyond reproach.  I see you have taken the path of critique more and less about rates as I have... I do enjoy the interaction with friends I established early on on PN and find that the kindness and sharing of long time friends to be warm.  The rate world on PN is another story seems a lot less fairness and respect and more of the 1,2,3's which for some reason seems to be increasing. Is time passing us by mon chum.. That we are standing still in time?  I think in some ways we are we keep the circle of friends we often view and make comments to others who present when we see a particular work that is stunning.  I hope that the work such as yours continues to inspire, your digital alteration work always goes to such detail not some canned art software that HD's something and is later posted as Digital Alteration Art and expects it to be considered great.  I think we need to take time as you have here to merge and blend images to create new images.. The use of rust and texture and bleaches and tones and age to reflect times are-a-changing is well considred.. You are appreciated and if rates were like they use to be I would give you a 7/7 as this image hits on all accounts ... MJ

Time is the greatest mystery...

Augustin's "Confessions" (Latin: Confessiones) is the name of a work by St. Augustine of Hippo, written between AD 397 and AD 398.

He addresses therein what time might be... I like his statements there very, very much.

Kant addressed the mystery of time extensively in his treatise "Critique of Pure Reason" (German: "Kritik der reinen Vernunft"). Around 1400 years later. I admire both philosophers.

And a lot of other philosophers tried to explain "time" as well of course, I admire them as well.

It is important to address and discuss it. Again and again. I like that a lot - because we are linked as humans together - in time and space over centuries or even thousands of years. This linkage may be very strong and also everlasting, and, moreover, we can get a real feeling of what our ancestors may have thought...

Therefore, of course(!), the question of what is time has been addressed in art throughout thousands of years as well.

You did it here as well. That's very good.

Many thanks.

Just the best.  Learning.  Best Regards,

Reminds me of looking through old boxes at my grandmothers house.

 

Interesting touch of the watch being upside down

The upside down  is  precisely  show  the  time  today, when almost everything is  upside down.

Cheers

Bela

Hm, I didn't think it was important!

 

Thank you for telling me that, Bela!
